I tried to build FreePascal 2.5.1 using FPC 2.4.2 and when it comes to
generating the .fpc.cfg using samplecfg there is an error message about

<br>It looks like it will be better if the samplecfg uses the fpcmkcfg created with the new build. Has it been updated since the 2005 date it was created?<br><br>How does the normal installation script create the proper fpc.cfg?<br>
